Time passed by…Finally, my sentence of a year and half was up.I stood at the entrance of the jail with wounds and scars all over my body. The strong rays of sunlight shone on me, making me feel a little pain at the same time making me feel more alive."Reed, welcome back."As I looked up and felt the warmth and the freedom, I heard a warm and familiar voice.It was Haick.We hadn't seen each other for more than a year. He was wearing a light colored suit, which made him look more mature and handsome. But for me, a year and a half's cruel life in prison had made me skinny. My hair was sallow and my skin was dry and devoid of elasticity.Standing next to him, I dulled in comparison.Haick didn't treat me differently because of the change in my appearance. He gently opened the door of the co driver's seat for me.On the way, Haick kept apologizing.He said that in the past one and a half years, he had not been doing well. He had been blaming himself for failing to help me.I looked a

I hid behind a pillar and heard someone coming out of the hotel to flatter him.Based on their conversation, I roughly knew that this hotel belonged to the Mitaka Group."Ding! Ding! Ding!..." As I hid behind the pillar and waited for them to leave first, my cell phone rang.It was Blue's call.I dared not to pick up as I rushed into the hall as soon as Dave was long gone.As soon as I entered the hall,I found Blue. She looked me up and down as if examining me. After confirming that I was Reed, she began to arrange some work for me.At a glance, I knew that Blue was use to being bossy. As I was assigned to be her assistant, she rather treated me as if I were her servant.In addition to getting the documents and examining the project, I even needed to do a lot of chores for her including buying water and throwing away her trash.Although what I was asked to do might be beyond what an assistant was supposed to do, I found that I was having a more blessed life than that I had enjoyed wh

I looked at him and told him everything about my pregnancy, before I was imprisoned and the fact that my baby was aborted.In the end, I added, "I went to the hospital for a check up not long ago. According to the doctor, my uterus was damaged and I won't be pregnant again for the rest of my life."I lied to him, saying that I could never get pregnant. After all, Haick was so good that I didn't deserve him.I knew men wanted to have children of their own. So, Haick surely would mind this.At this time, I saw the hesitation in Haick's eyes.What I had least expected was for him to hug me suddenly, "Reed, it turns out that you have suffered so much in prison. I'm sorry. It's my fault that I could't help you with the lawsuit. Please forgive me. I'm so sorry.. And I promise to protect you this time around."I was stunned in his arms."Haick, I said I can't have a baby.""If you can't, let it be. I don't mind."Haick's behavior was completely beyond my expectation.I broke free from his em

I struggled desperately but I couldn't move at all.When I heard the sound indicating that his belt fell to the ground along with his pants, I thought that I would have no way out today....Crack! A crisp sound of unlocking came from the door.It was a very low and crisp sound but in my ears, it sounded like a saviour!Bernard seemed to be stunned as well. He slowed down and said unhappily, "Didn't I f**king tell you all to leave? No one should come in here!"I took this chance, moved my head away from the water and shouted, "Help! Cough! Cough! Help!"I heard the door open. Although I couldn't see who it was, I could feel Bernard's hand which was holding my hands, was shaking. Then I heard his flattering voice, "Mr. Mitaka, why, why are you here at this time?"'Mr. Mitaka.'Based on this name, I could only think of one person in mind."Let go of her." I heard the order coming from behind.Bernard immediately let go of me.After that, he ordered again, "Get out!""Yes, yes." Bernard

When the manager heard that I was such a person, he immediately said, "Mr. Mitaka, I am contacting the staff of Haick Design now. We will call off the project partnership as soon as possible."Haick Design was Haick's company."No!" I stepped forward and stood in front of the manager.Although I hated it and I wasn't willing to, I still said, "I will resign! I will resign! Are you satisfied?"I knew what Dave wanted. Dave wants to see my life ruined with no way out. I couldn't let Haick be put in a difficult position because of me.Dave looked at her and didn't say anything.I stood there, made a call to Haick, and said helplessly, "Mr. Grimm, I resign." After that, I hung up the phone before Haick could ask me anything.I put my cell phone into my pocket and bowed to Dave, "Mr. Mitaka, I've already resigned from Haick Design. Now, I have nothing to do with this company as well as this project. There's no need to vent your hatred for me on others."After that, I turned back and left.

That night, Haick asked me to stay for another night.The next day, I was full of energy so I follwed Haick to the company.As soon as we got into the lobby, the receptionist ran over, "Mr. Grimm, Mr. Mitaka arrived early..."I turned my head and happened to see Dave in a dark suit through the glass wall of the reception room. He got up from the couch and walked straight towards us.When he saw me standing side by side with Haick, his black eyes were full of contempt. He slightly opened his thin lips and said, "Reed Defiant, although you have been re educated in prison for a year and half, you haven't got rid of your bad habit of being cheap for the sake of money."As soon as he finished his words, his statements made the colleagues around me lament instantly."Don't talk nonsense!" I panicked. Moreover, I didn't understand why a person like Dave Mitaka would condescend to come to a small company like ours.While I was at a loss, I felt my shoulders warm. Then, I heard Haick say, "I

Along the way, I scolded Dave as viciously as I could but he seemed indifferent.When the car stopped again, Dave lowered the window and looked out of the window, saying"Look! Where are we?"I turned my head and looked out the window. It took me quite a while to realize where we were. In an instant, my face paled.It was unknown when the car had arrived at an orphanage. However, the orphanage was different from what I remembered. I use to spent most of my time here with the kids when I was in college.This was my bonding place. I knew what it felt like to be unwanted. My family treated me like trash so I usually came here to find peace and comfort.If it weren't for the sign written at the gate, I wouldn't have believed that the building in front of me was the orphanage where I had been visiting.At this time, Dave had already gotten out of the car and said to me, "Let's go in and have a look."When I followed him into the orphanage, the old dean had already come out to welcome him

At dinner, Jamin urged us over and over again, saying we should bear him a fat grandson as soon as we could.I agreed with a faint smile but I knew it would never happen.After we came out of the Mitaka Family house, I was just about to get in the car when I noticed that the tassel of the small cloak was hooked onto the covered button of Dave's belt.I wore a low cut evening dress. I hadn't taken off the cloak over at dinner but, the tassel was hooked on Dave's belt. We sat in the car and I knew if I leaned over to untie it, I would have to make an ambiguous posture. Helplessly, I had no choice but to take off my cloak. After all, I couldn't ask Dave to take off his belt."Lemme take this off." I said as I tried to untie the tassel.Although I said so, it seemed that the more anxious I was, the tighter the tassel got entangled.The cloak was very expensive and I didn't dare to cut the tassel off. While I was sweating all over my head, I saw Dave press on the belt with his big palm.

I went to Judith's home. I didn't know why I felt more relaxed here than elsewhere, as if I belonged here.Or, only in here, I can really let go of things.I was preoccupied with the matters concerning Judith's death.I called Marie and told her all the ins and outs of this matter. I wanted to see if her husband Jerrold can check whether there was any report about this.After that, I searched for the list of associate directors of the Hospital.I had also come in contact with grandma's attending doctor at that time, so I should have some impression.There were four associate directors in the hospital. I scanned them roughly and soon focused on a photo of an associate director named Matt Parma!'That's him!' I told myself!"My grandmother's attending physician was this man."I looked at the doctor's resume from the Internet again. He was the youngest among all the associate directors. In comparison to other associate directors, he should be the most inexperienced.How could he be an a

We walked to my house. I took the elevator to go up, and Dave followed.When I reached the upper floor, I did not look at my door first, but at Oogway's.Oogway and I started from being neighbors. Then I thought perhaps everything was not just a coincidence.It was planned by him.I walked out of the elevator and opened the door with the key. Then I went in and found the Property Ownership Certificate.There was a black cloth bag put together with the Property Ownership Certificate, which stored the pink necklace that Dave had given me.I hesitated for a moment, and then put it into my bag.This necklace was so expensive. Maybe I could help Dave by selling it.When I went out, Dave was waiting at the door. He looked at me with a solemn face. "Have you made up your mind? If you don't want to sell it, I can...""Let's go." I interrupted him. "I don't want to live next door with him anymore."'He' meant Oogway.Dave didn't say anything else.He accompanied me to the Real Estate Bureau wi

It took about half an hour for Comfort to come out.As soon as she opened the door and saw me standing there, she was scared to take a step back and barely stood still. Then she looked at me and said with impatience, "What are you doing? Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night!?""Tell me clearly what you just said. What was wrong with grandma's tube?"'Today, if I don't figure this out, how can I sleep! That was what I thought.As I spoke, I switched on the lights in the corridor.The orange light shone on Comfort's face.The woman's face was still pale because of the shock. She said impatiently, "I don't know. You need to ask your father.""I'm asking you!" I threatened her. "I still have the video of you that year. Listen, anyway, you know what's my situation now. I don't want to be alive anymore. I'm not afraid to announce it in public and have a life and death struggle with you!"In fact, I was not sure if the video of Comfort I took was still there.But I still needed to

Judith's home looked the same as before, and the furniture wasn't changed, which made me gratified.After entering, Comfort said, "You can stay. I'll come back tomorrow morning. I'll go first.""Don't you want to stay here?" I looked at Comfort in surprise."I, I have a place, I don't live here!" Comfort's face was full of panic, as if she was afraid that I would ask more.At that moment, my mind suddenly became clear. I walked over and grabbed Comfort's hand, "No! If you want the exchange for my apartment, you must stay here with me for the night!""I won't stay!" Comfort shook off my hand with all her might!Her eyes were filled with fear!It was as though she resisted being here!What was she afraid of?Even though I didn't have a clear head on this day, my mind was unusually clear at this very moment.I pulled her and said, "No, then I won't do the exchange."Hearing this, Comfort immediately hesitated and begged, "I, I want to go back and take care of my husband...""You can ask

My heart went from anger, to panic, to numbness.In the end, I didn't even know when this farce would end.I didn't know how many tears I had shed.However, when I came to myself, the people around me seemed to have dispersed, as if the police had come to stop them.In the end, I was left alone.I felt like I was deprived of all my feelings.I couldn't feel sadness, anger or grief.I stood up. I was pointed at by passerbys when I made my way back, finally, I arrived at the No.1 on foot.Along the way, I was in a daze.I didn't quite remember what happened.I went home, took a shower, changed my clothes, and sat down on the sofa.My brain was in a mess.I completely seemed to have entered a state where I couldn't help denying myself.As I sat there, all I thought about was... all these things happened because of me.Because of me, the studio was destroyed.Because of me, all the orders had been cancelled.Because of me, my mother's life was exposed to the public.Because of me, Dave's

At nine o'clock the next morning, I found Harry's number on my phone. He was my attorney in the case of Helen.In fact, as long as the details of the trial and evidence would go public, things on the Internet would be refuted.I called Harry, and made an appointment at ten o'clock in the morning in a cafe near their Law Firm building with him.After hanging up the phone, I went out.Dave was very busy recently, so I did not disturb him. I took a taxi and went to the place that I had appointed with Harry.After arriving at the entrance, I paid the taxi fee and went upstairs to wait for him.Since it was in the morning, the cafe was almost empty. So I chose a corner, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat down calmly.It was only 9:30 a.m.I sat there, thinking over and over again about how to speak to Harry later.If Harry would refuse me or hesitate later, I would have to say something to move him.I practiced countless versions in my mind.At 10 a.m. I saw Harry opening the coffee shop's d

At this time, Marie's phone rang, after listening on for a while, she turned around and went out with a dignified look on her face.I followed Marie out and heard her. "Ms. Sarah, please listen to my explanation. This is an unwarranted rumor. Our designers are not such kind of people. Excuse me, Mrs. Sarah..."She didn't go on meaning the other party hung up.Marie put the phone in her pocket and turned around with disappointment.She looked at me and immediately squeezed out a smile. "The last project has been cancelled, too. It's good. We can rest for a while."Her words made me even sadder.All of this was because of me."I'm sorry. Originally, I thought it was only my own affair, but this also affected the people around me.I went back and Scarlett said, "Alina, why don't you also hold a press conference like Teresa?""No." Marie said behind, "Do you think the Michaelson family opened the press conference at random? They have already distributed questions to the journalists, and

I hadn't used my mobile phone for the past few days. I seemed to be used to it. Although I had my mobile phone, I didn't have time to check out the news.What did they find again?I tried my best to suppress the fear in my heart and clicked open the news with trembling hands.Looking at the news, it was just as I thought.Someone went to visit Helen, who seemed to have gone crazy, and said I killed Lita on the yatch.The man recorded a video stealthily. On the video, Helen only showed half of her face as she said with tears, "In order to let her let Lita off, we gave her all our property. But Reed was too hard hearted, she still didn't agree. She watched Lita being burnt to death in the end!"All the foul mouthed comments about me spread on the Internet.Netizens were crazyly searching, and they found out Lita's disappearance, Dave and Teresa's wedding, and I who should already be dead.This time, every line was actually very easy to piece together to form a complete clue!Because o

The four of us went silent at the same time.Upon seeing this, Desmond had no choice but to stand up. "You can continue. I'll go in and get some drinks."Although he had left, we did not continue either. I was bored for a while so I planned to go to the stern to see what they had gained from fishing.I took a few steps to the stern and saw that only Jerrold and Dave sat there.I was afraid of scaring away the fish, so I kept quiet.Before I got close, I heard Jerrold say, "He has spent a lot of money on this issue. If there is no higher bargaining chip, it will be very difficult to suppress this issue.""What's the price?""At least this." Jerrold said and raised his hand. I thought it was five million, and then I heard him said, "Fifty million."Hearing this number, I was astonished to breathless.Originally, I thought it was already expensive, but I did not expect Jerrold to say, "And now you know the things in which people are most interested are not only the private life of stars
